I am reading the Book PHP and MYsql for dummies and it talks of a test you can do to see if PHP and SQL are talking with each other. > On the Mysqladmin it tells me that my odbc driver 3,.51 not found is that a problem > and how do I get the driver? you don't need ODBC driver to work in PHP with MySQL. PHP has native builtin extension for MySQL. just use mysql_*(); functions and be happy =)<< you will have to excuse my ignorance what Is a mysql_*;function as I said I am completely new to this and don't know how to set this up. thanks Nicci --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
